Philosophy
Where ‘Less is More’
At Musical Laboratory* our inspiration comes from Eastern spirituality and the long tradition of Japanese minimalism. Masaoki Shiki was a young poet who challenged the orthodoxy of Japanese poetry of his day, which had become bloated and unreadable. Shiki is credited with inventing a new grammatical structure, the Haiku, in which only a few words were used to perfectly capture a moment of consciousness or to describe something in the natural world.
Through clever use of minimalist circuitry, and guided by a ‘Less is More’ philosophy, we believe that we have created audiophile devices among the highest musical class available. What Shiki did for Japanese poetry[1] is our vision for audio reproduction.
